oh please, it's not even a real diagnosis. Ease off those pearls.

It IS, however, the most accurate and widely understood description of Sonic Fans/Bronies/Hazbin/Digital Circus/etc fans. No other word so accurately captures the cringe, the lack of self-awareness, the creepy fetishes.

Do you know some other word that so perfectly encapsulates that behavior?

Not a real diagnosis? Where do you think the word comes from?

Again, grow the fuck up and go touch grass.

Well, they're technically correct (likely by accident). It is no longer a diagnosis that is used.

[–] QueenMidna@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yeah but using it as a derogatory term is never okay

[–] caseyweederman@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 month ago

Absolutely agree.
